Im trying to confirm that LCI models came out halfway through 2007 model year and 2008 model year started in Sept 07 not March 07.

Except maybe you assumed they were 08 because they were LCIs and maybe they were 07 LCI cars.

I found this in a search. It is dated January 8th, 2007. MY '08 debuted in April 2007.

There are in the UK. Didn't they phase out those in the US and replace them with the 528i when the LCI came out.

Just found this which helps to read the vin. Doesnt work with my car though as european models use "O" instead of a model year as the tenth digit.

One of you guys will need to check to see if im right or wrong about the dates.
